I picked up a pair of these gorgeous wild bettas today...is there anyone else keeping them on here? Will try t get some photos soon, they're in blackwater at the mo with a fair few plants and a lower pH and hardness than average.. Anyone? James

Where did you get those? And how much were they? They dont have anything like that near me, id love a pair. Ive been looking for stuff like foerschi and brownorum, but those would do for me, theyre a gorgeous species.

All had success. I'd look into getting ketapang instead of blackwater, they seem to respond more favourably to it.
